Old House yields Wheat Cent, Cresent Wrench and......

[waseeker]

...........some clad. Oh well. I've been watching this house for a while because the property is going to be converted to a mini-mall. They started clearing it so I went by this morning to ask for permission to hunt.

The foreman said no problem just stay out of the way of the back hoe.

4 hours of hunting got me a 1957D wheatie, 4 quarters, 4 dimes and 33 cents. Relics included rusty cresent wrench, somewhat mangled mag-lite and a lead fishing lure. The lure has what appears to be either shed or hedd embossed on it but that part is a bit mangled and a brass cap for a shotgun shell.

Had to work fast because the back hoe was stripping off the grass and about the first 6" of topsoil. I got the front and west sides done, but he got to the east side and back stripped before I could get there.

No silver, but all in all not a bad day.

ps - if anyone wants the cresent wrench send me a message within a couple of days. Otherwise it'll go into the trash on Monday.

Excellent! That looks like 4 hours well spent.

Way to go! You ought to go back and cover the area the backhoe cleared. You never know what it brought close to the surface.

Yes it's kinda cute

I'm heading back tomorrow and packing a lunch will put the machine in relic mode and hunt till either I drop or the batteries in both packs die

Someone beat me to it. I was gonna say go over where the guy stripped the grass off, some of the deeper stuff might now be findable. Good luck.

And don't forget to find out where they are putting the dirt they removed!

Congrats on your finds and good luck on your return.

That lure is probably a Heddon.
